Hi Paramod,

Right. Those comments are not correct for the TS-7300, or
if they are correct, they are only correct for versions
of the TS-7300 that ship with on-board Flash.

According to some of the other documentation, the TS-7300
ships by default without Flash, and in that case the
EEPROM on the board contains a bootloader that causes
the ARM processor to load the MBR of the SD card, and
then follow a boot procedure that is similar to how
an x86 boots.

The TS-7300 manual is here;
http://www.embeddedarm.com/Manuals/ts-7300-manual-rev1.2.pdf

-> read page 14.

While their generic Linux document is here;
http://www.embeddedarm.com/Manuals/linuxarm-guide-rev2.2.pdf

-> the TS-BOOTROM discussion on p7 *does not apply* to the
    TS-7300.

I hope that clears up some of your confusion.

Setup networking and NFS mount a shared filesystem.

I'm pretty sure you can also just pop out the SD card, mount it
under Linux, copy the files to the filesystem, and then put
the card back in. But I haven't tried that yet. The second
SD card could also be used.

I do not believe you will ever get to the Redboot command.

Cheers
